You successfully gained s-off, not root.

ROM manager is useless without root access.

You must download and flash (using the bootloader method described before) clockworkmod in order to flash Superuser.

You must flash Superuser (as described a post or two up) in order to gain root access.
[Thunderbolt General] jbh00jh:
Put your phone back in bootloader.

Once you are in bootloader at the top of the screen you should see S-OFF if it is rooted. If it not rooted it will say S-ON.

Sent from my Verizon LTE 4G HTC Thunderbolt
[Thunderbolt General] c_live_lee:
Yes, you ARE rooted now! :D

No, they don't come packaged together because they don't quite flash the same way. :(

Click the second link in my Sig and search that site for the "mr3.5" radio. That's the newest one. Searching the Thunderbolt forums should net you info on how to successfully pull off the radio upgrade/gingerbread combo. ;)

Edit: But the simplified method is-

Place the APPROPRIATELY named radio on the ROOT of your SD card

Flash the ROM.

Pull the battery. Replace battery

Boot into the bootloader.

Flash the radio.

Reboot.

Remove the radio file from the ROOT of your SD card to avoid future hassles and inconveniences.

Done.
[Thunderbolt General] c_live_lee:
Not quite. They aren't one and the same. You aren't necessarily rooted if you're s-off. That is the purpose of flashing Superuser.
[Android Apps and Games] RyanZA:
Current traceroute options for Android were a bit poor (short of opening up a command line and running nmap from there!), so here is a nice little app for doing a traceroute using nmap (if you have root, uses ping if you don't). Bonus - it shows the hops on a map where geoip information is available.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rc.vtrace

It's actually a part of a very comprehensive network app coming out soon by zImperium (full nmap scans, port connection, man-in-the-middle, driftnet-style image extraction, etc). Coming soon! :)
[Android Apps and Games] alroger:
Great idea!

Cool! Why does it say incompatible with my Tab? I bet it works, let me try!
[Android Apps and Games] shaolin95:
Same here says is not compatible...any chance of adding the Apk?
[Android Apps and Games] wpickel:
Looks like a great and much needed app...however, not compatible with the HTC Vision
[Android Apps and Games] tomj777:
Interesting. Should it really only show the start and end points, or is the intent to show each hop?
[Android Apps and Games] poopymt3g:
works on my rooted sensation...cool app..

hey looks PROPER! it does not show up in my market and from web it tells me not compatible with my device lg opti 2x rooted 2.3.4. recategorize it, i have seen this with other posts also on market or make an apk available to us

cheers
[Android Apps and Games] kulek:
Works good on Desire.
[Android Apps and Games] tomj777:
Gosh was I slow today. Sorry.

More than interesting... Well done
[Android Apps and Games] RyanZA:
First post updated with the APK download if you can't get it off the market.

I'm not really sure why, either. It is set to min Android 2.0 (because it's not like anybody is using less!) It requires internet access and google maps.

Anybody know which manifest attributes need to be included for it to show up on HTC Vision and LG 2X?
[Android Apps and Games] germanhoss:
Really nice little app - thanks for that.

And to be constructive: no probs to download it with a rooted HTC Desire running a custom AOSP ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] s300pmu1:
Nice app, but using google maps is fun only if google is available.

It sounds unlikely, but it does indeed happen: right now my provider has f*d something up and I can't reach anything google, including maps.

So this neat app does not function at all.

Author, provide some fallback (e.g. non-gui traceroute output) in case google maps are not available...
[Android Apps and Games] heartspeace:
Grab this before it disappears

This was taken off the market, probably because competitive products late due to a copyright infringement is my guess. It's only a consent to be wrong, but it is now off the market that it's not a guess.
[Android Apps and Games] KissMyWookie:
Visual Traceroute pulled from Google Market/Play Store

Would like to hear from Ryan, why Google pulled this from the market.
[Android Apps and Games] Derzis:
there is a comercial product for PC called VisualRoute

maybe it has something to do with them: visualroute.com
[Android Apps and Games] RyanZA:
New version of this app that uses the new Google Maps API (vectors, smooth scrolling, etc) with a better UI is available on Google Play now. Also has details of which organization controls each hop.

[HTC EVO 3D] bmtdan:
has anyone tried to do this since getting root access? i know i remember reading that google was gonna block movies for rooted devices but i wasnt sure if that was ever implemented or not
[HTC EVO 3D] stryke504:
I haven't personally tried since I feel they are a rip off. I'd rather just use other methods. But I don't think google blocked the movies. They are still showing up in the market for me and are available to rent.
[HTC EVO 3D] danaff37:
You can rent them, just can't watch in the google movie app. Two ways around this.

1. Just go to your browser on the phone to the google market website and watch it from there

2. Use terminal or adb shell to rename the su binary. Remember what you name it as, because when you're done watching the movie, you will have to run the binary as the new name to be able to change it back so all other programs will work.
[HTC Sensation] n1ghtl1fe:
Whats the best way to partition your SD card these days? Is it just thru clockwork? or should I use Paragon Partition Manager? CWM doenst have an option for ext4 and a lot of sensation roms show they use that.

Any suggestions? on what to use or size of ext? also should i enable a SWAP partition or not?

Thanks!

*reason im asking is my write speed to my SD has been horrible latley, I partitoned and started fresh with CWM the other day and I havent been able to put my 20 gigs of music back on because my transfer rate is around 250kb/s*
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TabGuy:
I'm a participant in Google Music (beta). I gotta say that I love it. Not having all that music on my devices is wonderful.

However, here's an oddity that I can't seem to fix or explain.

I ripped a CD to my collection on my PC on Friday. Saturday when I went to play that album on my Galaxy Tab it was there and played fine. Perfect.

Then, yesterday, I went to play this same album using Google Music (beta) on my Thunderbolt. It wasn't there. I couldn't find it in Artists, Albums or with search. Gone. I went back to look at my Tab and, yes, it's still on there.

So, the question is: Why doesn't my Thunderbolt have the new album? Is there a way to refresh Google Music?

Should I uninstall and reinstall Google Music?

Both the Tab and the Thunderbolt are running version v3.0.1.339
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] krips2003:
I think it's there. Click on menu then library option. Select offline only, then again select all music. I know we have a refresh option on the tab version of the google music.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TabGuy:
Thanks for the tip. But, no change. Still can't find the artist.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cdf3:
This happened to me on my phone. I went to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > Music > Clear Data

Be sure to select the Music icon with the headphones. My phone has a pre-installed app called Music as well.

When you open the app up it will refresh all settings & data.

Maybe someone can help me...

I flashed an HTC incredible to Boost by using a doner phone. The phone is active on Boost and SMS and talk work 100%. The data is not working, no 3G icon. I have qpst and compared the settings to the doner phone but can't get data. I did copy the HA and AAA passwords from the doner.

I know the Verizon setup is slightly different then Sprints...am I missing something obvious?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebecker:
Just tried Kies for the first time. Have some questions:

1. Got an update message. Here are the settings:

Current: PDA:KE7 PHONE:KE4 CSC:KE1 (SMO)

Latest: PDAKF3 PHONEKE7 CSC:KE1 (SMO)

a. Is this a ROM update to a newer Android version? I'm currently running 2.3.3.

b. Is it necessary to do a backup before I do the update?

c. What can I expect after doing the update?

d. How long does an update usually take?

2. Am I right in assuming that there is no need (or way) to "Safely remove" the phone from my computer; simply responding to the phone message to disconnect is all that is necessary?

Thanks.

-Bob-
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
If you have an update in Kies, then the first thing you should do is update it ;)

1- Yes, it's a ROM update. It's too 2.3.3. But KF3 is the most stable official firmware released yet.

2- Nope, Kies updates won't wipe any data at all.

3- System Stability, upgraded Swype, removed WiFi sharing bug, Better Voice Talk functions and some more.

4- Depends on your ISP's speed. On mine 2 mbps it took around 20-25 mins.

I don't believe that Safely Remove stuff.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AleksandarMK:
A. Yes

B. Yes

C. some Fix for the firmware

D. 20-30 min depend of your net speed !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebecker:
More Questions

Looked at Kies backup. Doesn't seem to do a lot if you use Google mail, etc between the phone and Outlook. In the past I simply copied the files from my phones storage as backup and dumped them back on to the phone when needed. I was using a hacked HTC HD2 with all data on my SD card. In the case of the SGS2 wouldn't it work to just copy both storage areas?

Thanks.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] NookyLov3r:
Is anyone using that or have tried for their NC? I'm wonder what the bluetooth range would be and if it would be able to connect to an OBD2 bluetooth reciever that would be maybe 3 ft away. It would be great to get a 7in NC mounted in the car and be able to see real time info in your car.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrkavanagh:
I'm not sure how well it would work over Bluetooth. Do you already have the Bluetooth module? If you do them you should really check out alaprecorder. Its pretty wicked and you can use your phone plus odbII.

is it save to use your galaxy s2 as a alarm clock with the screen on all night.

or will this just destroy your phone screen?

thanks for the info.

Screen On whole night? :eek: Nowhere near Safe IMO.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbiz90:
Using a charger?

The display will last between four and eight hours depending on a number of factors. Not a good idea to keep the screen on overnight.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AleksandarMK:
Buy some DOCK or use the normal alarm mode :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raies:
yes , I mean with connected to the charger on a cradle or something and on the whole night.

I always did this when I had my motorola backflip and it did work well.

but now I have a samsung galaxy s2 and it might be different :D thanks for your fast replies.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
It will work fine, and the alarm clock even has a night mode that's a lot dimmer than your standard brightness, but it's still not recommended as you'll basically destroy the screen well before it should die. Best answer is to either get an alarm clock or leave the screen off. Both crap answers, I know, but they're right.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woodstock_ahem:
get an alarm clock which will always be more reliable than a smartphone...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbonus:
I use the app "One Nightstand" and it works well for me on the GS1.

It is not 100% up to speed on gingerbread, but the alarm functions have worked flawlessly for me on 2.3.3.

The best feature is that I can reduce the brightness via RGB controls meaning I can get the color and brightness level I want.

I don't know how this will affect the screen of the SGS2, but on the SGS1 it has not shown any issues with close to a year of use.
[Android Apps and Games] CuBz90:
Do you accidentally turn your volume down without realising? Myself and a few other people I know, are always missing calls because the volume can be turned down with a slight touch to the volume button. Even my phone pressing against my jeans in my pocket would turn the volume down.

But, I came across an app called Volume Control + which allows you to lock the volume at any level, and provides you with a widget to easily access and change all sound settings.

Volume Control + is free from the market!

http://www.droid-life.com/2011/08/0...-charging-pad-receive-battery-cover-for-free/

I've tried this, but when I have them both in my cart, the pad shows up as $52.49 and the Cover is still $29.99 :confused:

And it won't allow you to add the Charging Pad to your cart if you have the Thunderbolt selected as your phone. I had to select the LG Revolution to be able to add the pad to the cart.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] thesilverhawk:
I had the same problem, after chatting extensively with an agent i was told there is an issue with these, they issued a help ticket and it should be fixed tomorrow. She also said the induction cover fits both standard and extended battery.

[Thunderbolt Accessories] je2345:
I called vzw customer care and after a bit of a workaround and speaking to internet support he just had me go ahead and purchase the charging pad for $52.99 after my 25% off discount and then went into account and added the charging door at $0.00 and noted the reason
[Thunderbolt Accessories] stearic:
I don't see how it could work with the extended battery. There isn't enough of a bump for this cover to work. The bump we do see in the pics is for the parts added to the cover to make the wireless charging work. I did just order it though and had no problems with adding it to my cart. Hope i get it by friday.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] SJUnion:
I received this combo last night. While I do not own an extended battery I can confidently say this won't work with it. The hump in the inductive replacement cover houses the hardware that allows the charging process to work. No room for anything else.

That being says it works flawlessly. Put the cover on, plug the pad in, put the phone down, the pad beeps and away it goes.

Only downside is that it adds thickness and will require me to mod my car charging cradle for the phone to fit with this cover.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] trapperjohn:
Had a feeling about not working with the extended. Thanks for the info :-)

How do you find the charging when compared to plugging in phone directly? Does it take longer?

Thanks,

Bryan
[Thunderbolt Accessories] SJUnion:
Sorry, but I just put it down and walked away. I think it was around 50% when I put it down and charged to 100% when I grabbed it like 2 or 3 hours later. But I'm totally guessing. No solid stats recorded yet.

Tonight Ill put it on there and record how much she charges in an hour.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] ddgarcia05:
Will they honor this deal in store? I would probably buy it if there was a case that would fit the battery and still allow wireless charging.

For those who have it, can you post reviews of it?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Powell730:
+ 1, how much bulk does the cover add?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] stearic:
Looking at the lil idiots guide that came with the pad, it says it outputs at 1000ma. so it should charge it just as fast as a physical connection.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] flat4inrc:
My output says 500ma. It's pretty slow. This came off the HTC door instructions and not the LG mat instructions.

I had to modify my otterbox case for it to fit by removing the padded backing in the shell.

I also do not get a full charge. It gets to 100 but when I take it off it jumps right down to 95. Anyways I know the last 10% is truly based on efficiency but I would say that inductive is not the most efficient means when compared to conductive.

Bottomline: cool idea, would I have paid full price, probably not.

They honored the deal in store for myself

[Motorola Droid X2] quadjacks:
Now getting ads in apps such as Angry Birds and Diversion to name a few on my DROID X2. Any advice on a substitute app to prevent ads or maybe a fix for AdFree Android! Thanks in advance!
[Motorola Droid X2] SwiftLegend:
If you're rooted and willing to pay for an app, get Absolute System Root Tool. I think it's like $2.99. It has a ad blocking service, and to me it works great. Never have ads in games or in browser. Has more features like a font gallery, where you can choose another system font, same with bootanimations, and more.
[Motorola Droid X2] 0vermind:
They both use pretty much the same way of blocking ads--the hosts file. You gotta keep in mind that not all ads are going to be blocked. That's just not going to happen. App developers know that there are solutions like AdFree, and so they use new ad servers, or use different methods of getting the ads across.

Think about it this way: You're a dev, you create a new free app and put it on the market, you want to make a little money from it because it took you 50+ hours of hard work, so you put ads in it, and put an Ad-Free version on the market for $.99. If you don't like the ads in Angry Birds, shell out the $.99, but don't complain because you are getting something for free....
[Motorola Droid X2] y0himba:
+1 (I just bought Absolute System Root Tool)

These "apps" are usually cents, not normally more than a few dollars. If the ads get the devs a bit of beer money, I am okay with that, thank you for a good app. If there is an ad-free version, I will buy it, thank you for a great app.
